Article Synopsis
- Endovascular treatments for cerebral aneurysms offer a valuable alternative to traditional neurosurgical clipping, especially for patients with unruptured aneurysms or those unsuitable for surgery.
- In a study involving 107 patients, various factors including age, sex, and symptom presentation were analyzed to evaluate outcomes and complications after treatment, with a focus on recanalisation rates after 12 months.
